How to Choose a Mass Tort Lawyer: Key Considerations and Tips for Successful Representation

November 17, 2023

Mass tort cases involve a large group of people who have collectively suffered injuries or harm caused by the same product, action, or circumstance. Mass tort claims are complex and require the expertise of a knowledgeable attorney. With so many lawyers available, it can be difficult to know which one to choose. Some important things to consider when choosing the right mass tort lawyer are:

Experience 

You want to look for a lawyer with years of experience handling mass tort cases. They should have a successful track record in handling similar cases and have a thorough understanding of the law. 


Resources 

Ensure the law firm you choose has the resources to handle your case from start to finish. Resources include staff, technology, expert witnesses, and financing. Mass tort cases require a lot of resources and can be expensive to litigate. Law firms that handle mass torts often have more resources at their disposal than a solo practitioner.


Accessible
 

When you are involved in a mass tort, you want a lawyer who is accessible and can communicate effectively. Ensure the law firm you choose promptly responds to your calls and emails. 


Reputation 

The reputation of the law firm you choose is another important consideration. You want a lawyer with a good reputation in the legal community. You can research potential law firms online, read reviews, and look for accolades from other legal professionals. You can also ask for references from previous clients who have filed mass tort claims.


Fee Structures

Finally, the fee structure of the law firm you choose should be transparent. You should know how much your case will cost and how the fees are calculated. In mass torts, fees are usually paid on a contingency basis. This means you do not pay upfront fees. Instead, the law firm receives a percentage of your settlement or judgment. 


Choosing the right lawyer for your mass tort case is critical. You want a lawyer with experience, resources, accessibility, reputation, and transparent fees.
